Online proctered testing

Did this last night, relatively straight-forward process except I had AnyDesk running in the background, so proctor called me and asked to shut it and I was away then. (I passed, somehow, it was extremely difficult)

It's a straight forward process. After clicking on the link I received in an email I selected to use my phone. I was then sent a link which opened up my browser and I then had to take and upload photo's of myself, my driving licence (front and back) and four pictures of my room, one towards the desk area, one away and one each to the left and right of it. Once approved the exam begins. I started this process 15 minutes before the scheduled time and it took that to get it all sorted. The moderator sent me a message during the exam to ask me not to read the questions out loud.

All in all I can't fault it and will definitely use this again.

Oh and I passed
